Echocardiogram Assessment of Left Ventricular Mass for Hemodialysis Patients

Year: 2020

Type: editorial

Abstract: Risk prediction has a central role in the clinical care of patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. Patients with end-kidney disease receiving maintenance hemodialysis are at particularly high risk for cardiovascular events, in part because of the high prevalence of traditional risk factors,1 and improved risk stratification is needed. There is substantial interest in identifying novel risk predictors, as well as evaluating whether traditional metrics are reliable and can improve risk prediction (and ultimately patient care).
